Surgeons are detail-oriented.
We like statistics and checklists
And operating procedures.
Our patients live because we
enjoy following the steps.
But as we much as we'd love to
always rely on the numbers...
The plan...
We also know that some of the
greatest medical discoveries
Have happened by accident.
Karev, you still need a lift to--oh,
my-- oh, my god!
What are you doing?! Get out! Uh...
Wh-why are you naked? Oh.
I should go. God.
No, please don't be mad.
Derek was supposed to be alex.
Okay. Well,
alex left ten minutes ago.
And since when are you two still--
Since you caught us the first time.
Mm-hmm. Lexie, this is
alex we're talking about.
Emotionally, he's like
me three years ago.
You can't be having feelings for him.
You realize that.
Yeah, of course not. No.
It's--it's just sex.
Okay? There's no feelings involved.
Right.
Because you are a
no-feelings type of girl.
Your heart lives in your vagina.
It... does not.
Okay? I swear.
It's... not this time.
Okay. Sure.
My heart does not
live in my... vagina.
Mold--penicillin.
Poisonous tree bark--
A cure for malaria. Morning.
Morning. A little blue pill
for high blood pressure...
Impotence be damned.
What's going on? Huh?
Gotta go.
Oh, my god! Dude!
Why is this my morning?
So I flip the patient
into trendelenburg.
Teddy yanks out the
arterial cannula...
And connects the arterial
line to a venous line,
And then sets up retrograde
cerebral perfusion.
I mean, like, she was on fire.
I was on fire.
The whole o.R. Was on fire.
What?
Nothing. Nothing.
Just... you two are...
You two are friends now.
Yeah.
And hey, you know...
yocan be her friend, too.
I never asked you not to be.
You decided that all on your own.
So... be her friend.
It's hard for us to accept
That it's not always the
hard work... thank you.
Or attention to detail
That'll give us the
answers we're looking for.
Dr. Hunti-- I just paged you.
Uh, there's a trauma
on the way. Here it is.
We've got a 41-year-old
motorcycle daredevil
With a closed head wound,
penetrating neck wound
And multiple blunt traumas.
What was the dare?
Riding without a helmet apparently.
He's still got some brain waves left,
but barely. Oh!
But sometimes we just
have to sit back,
Relax and wait for
the happy accident.
Oh! Oh, my god! Oh,
my god! That isn't gonna help.
Mnh-mnh. I'm on trauma today,yang.
This one's mine.
I touched him first.
Gary from legal.
I need a statement from one
of you about that fall.
You two decide.
You're not even wearing scrubs.
Damn it. This is not over.
Have fun with gary from legal.
Okay. One... Two, three.
Teddy, hey. I have an old
patient up in oncology.
And I know that you're
really busy with surgeries
And st-staring at owen hunt...
What?
I've tried to ignore it,
the staring.
But ever since christmas,
with the guitar and the singing
And the stolen looks--well,
I noticed it,
and I can't...Unnotice it.
It's just, I kinof...
I like to fix things--people.
I like to fix people.
Oh, no, no. Dr.
Hunt and I-- ooh, don't,
'cause then you're just lying,
and that's no good
My point is, you're
staring and you're sad.
And I think that you need
friends that aren't owen.
And that's where I come in,
with the fixing.
You're going to be
friends with me. I am?
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
I'm an awesome friend.
So tonight you'll come out with
callie and me--girls' night.
Maybe bailey will come, too.
Say yes to girls' night.
Yes to girls' night.
Yay! Oh, yay.
Problem solved. Now for my patient.
Elliot meyer.
He needs a lung transplant.
Oh, hey. Uh, I'm down
with a l-lung transplant.
Oh, no... because you
slept with my girlfriend,
And I find at when I look at you,
I want to hit you with a brick.
Dude, that was, like, years ago.
Maybe, but jealousy's
a green-eyed monster,
And if you ask any one of my kids,
they'll tell you,
There's no reasoning
with a monster.
Dude, run away before
I find a brick.
As my new friend,
don't judge me for that.
So... my patient, been treated...
I get it. You're upset
little sloan is gone.
But screwing drug reps is not
gonna make you feel better.
Yeah, it is.
No screwing drug reps in
my hospital. Are we clear?
You were much more fun
when you weren't chief.
You know that? Get outta here.
Ah.
Dr. Webber.
Welcome back. Oh.
Thank you, dr. Sloan.
Richard, how's your first day back?
Uh, well, so far, so good.
I had to drop this off.
I'm sorry you have to do this.
Well, this drug testing,
it's part of the rehab program.
Just run it under a john doe,
would you? Of course.
Whatever you need today,
richard, and I mean that.
A low-stress day,
let's start there--
Routine surgeries,
a light schedule, home by 5:00.
Done.
Yeah, I said that. She slipped.
The only person liable here is you
For keeping me from my surgery.
Call my driver and tell
him there's still time
Toake my flight if he
comes straight here.
You passed out in a restaurant
and you have abdominal pain.
You're not getting on a plane.
The pain's gone,
and whatever caused it
Can wait till I get home.
Now let me off of this damn thing.
We're done here, right?
Sir, I need you to move to this gurney.
I got this, yang.
All right? You're not
even in scrubs. Sir,
I need you to stay calm so I
can do a proper examination.
Tell this lady to back off,
jackie. Jackie?
Whatever. It's not--
Look, I've already paged bailey,
and he's not cardio.
So you can lose interest, yang.
Yeah, we'll see about that.
Sir, I'm a surgeon, a very good one.
So is my grandson.
So why don't you take
your hands off me?
Wait, he's your grandfather?
I'm serious, okay? I can handle
this till bailey gets here.
No, because you're not allowed
to treat family members,
And he has midepigastric
tenderness and guarding.
It could be ascending cholangitis.
Ascending cholgitis? Really?
With only one of the
symptoms of charcot's triad?
You're a doctor?
Apparently a much
better one than you are.
Dr. Harper avery.
And your name, doctor?
Harper avery.
Uh, no. That's my name.
As in the harper avery award?
Bingo. Get a new surgeon, jackie,
One with a pulse this time.
You're harper avery's grandson?
I misdiagnosed harper avery
in front of harper avery.
Do you know what that
does to my chances
Of one day winning a harper avery? Well,
could die before then.
I mean, he could die today even.
I just need to operate on
my motorcycle daredevil guy,
And I'll be fine.
Is it true harper avery is here?
So derek walked in on
her naked this morning
In alex's bed. Meredith!
What?
Oh, I'm just cheering her up.
She's having a bad day.
Be generous. You know what?
You can't be having
feelings for karev.
He's like meredith three
years ago. I said that.
I don't have feelings for alex.
Yes, you do. Your heart's,
like, in your vagina.
I said that. Oh, my god.
You are both monsters.
We're like...
Yang, I heard you met harper avery.
Did you know that pretty
boy's grandfather was god?
I didn't know.
That is kinda cool, though.
No, it's not cool.
Okay, he's an entitled
brat with no skills
Except a really good bloodlin
It is not jackson's fault that
he's related to harper avery.
Oh, whatever,
ellis grey's daughter.
Huh? How do I look?
Chiefly? What, are you nervous?
He's one of the most powerful
surgeons in the country.
He's just a guy Who happens to
have an award named aft him.
Whatever,Ellis grey's
daughter. Admit it.
You want to meet him, too.
Ll, yeah.
Thank you.
Hey,here are we on him?
He was on his way up to the o.R.
When he started bleeding out.
Want to give us a hand here, yang?
Oh. Big boy needs a little help.
No problem. Watch and learn.
Clamp.
See? This is why I don't
want you to drive!
I had to get my medication!
The store was gonna close! I'm so-
-can we not yell?
Please. Maybe. No, actually.
My mother's almost completely deaf,
A fact she refuses to accept,
which is why She won't learn sign
language or get a hearing aid.
So we yell. Don't talk to her.
Talk to me.
I'm just telling
them what happened!
She stole my car... again.
There's a tenderness over
the zygomatic process
And a hematoma to the
left temporal area.
Okay. Run a head and face c.T.
I'll get sloan and shepherd.
She's got a ruptured tendon in
her knee that will need surgery.
So she'll be off her
feet for a few weeks.
So more waiting on her
hand and foot? Brilliant.
I saw that, kathy!
They're taking you for scans!
That's all we said!
Just quiet down.
Let the nice doctor do her work.
Why is this taking so long?!
Is it me or are those two
women terribly annoying?
My apologies, dr. Avery.
We're working on getting
you up to your own room
As soon as poss-
you said that before.
Are you the same shepherd Who did
the clinical trial on the gliomas?
Yes, sir.
You brought me a neurosurgeon
for some abdominal cramps?
No, I-I--dr. Shepherd is
our chief of surgery, sir.
I don't need a cruise director.
I need an experienced surgeon.
Page dr. Grey.
I'm dr. Grey.
Either the world's most talented
plastic surgeon works here
Or you're not ellis grey.
She was my mother. She passed away.
I-I didn't know.
Uh, my condolences.
Who else then?
Does, uh, richard
webber still work here?
Yes.
unfortunately, he is, uh,
he is not available today.
Push 2 of ativan.
Percy, let's get him on his side.
Cristina, watch that neck.
Oh,my god! What are
they doing to that man?!
Oh! Okay. Applying pressure.
Get him back into the room.
I'll page dr. Webber.
As you can see, you've got
dilated bowel here and here,
Indicating an obstruction.
It's a good thing that
our young dr. Avery
Brought you straight in.
Dr. Bailey can do the
surgery right away.
Was it a student,
webber? A board member's wife?
What?
No one gives up a
chief of surgery gig,
And, uh, they don't ask you
unless it's for something juicy.
So who were you
slipping it to? Grandpa!
I'm sorry, dr. Webber.
It was a joke. He doesn't get me.
So, webber?
Uh, dr. Webber decided
to focus on his research.
Oh, the research line.
Well, either way,
At least you'll be
free to do my surgery.
Dr. Bailey is more than capable
of performing the surgery--
I want webber. No offense.
None taken.
And I want to watch.
What?
I'm going to be awake
for my surgery, watch.
So much for the low-stress day. Mm.
A year after mr. Meyer's
lymphoma went into remission,
He was diagnosed with
pulmonary fibrosis,
A condition that he
developed as a side effect
To the radiation he received
during his cancer treatments.
This isn't new information.
I thought you said you could help.
Yeah, but they're new to the case,
And it's important to
review the entire history.
Great. Uh, can't you do that
on your own time? Jill. Sorry.
My sister usually waits
a few more minutes
Before going full
bitch on new guys.
All right. Let me
tell you what I know.
It is gonna be very difficult
to find you a new set of lungs.
Donor lungs are scarce.
85% get thrown out
Because they get too inflamed
while the donor is brain dead.
And because your
cancer could come back
With the immunosuppressants
you'd be on,
You are considered a
very high-risk candidate.
There are just too many
other patients on the list
That are lower risk.
Elliot survived
leukemia and lymphoma.
Nobody does that, but he did.
He deserves lungs.
Unfortunately, these are the rules
The transplant board sets out.
I...
I'm sorry.
Dr. Altman, have you looked
into the research they're doing
With ex vivo transplants? Ex vivo?
Well, it's a procedure where
they take damaged donor lungs--
The ones we would
normally throw away--
And repair them on bypass.
Are we doing one?
Let me guess.
You want on my service
to make up for the fact
That you humiliated yourself
in front of harper avery.
How'd you hear about that?
You made fun of me.
Okay. Fine.
Yes, I-I humiliated myself
in front of harper avery.
And my daredevil gorked before
we could operate on him.
So I am available for
your ex vivo lung case.
I don't have an ex vivo lung case
Because it's only been done
in switzerland and in canada
On patients in much better
shape than our patient.
Yes, but...
Okay, performing a procedure
as hard-core as this
While harper avery
is in the hospital?
Well, I mean, he could
hear about it and like it
And--and he's a god
who hands out awards.
Yeah, I don't care about awards.
Oh, come on. Only people who
never win awards ever say that.
So you think this could
be an ex vivo lung case?
I do not have feelings for alex.
I do not care.
Ah, here we go.
He's giving them the speech.
What speech?
About the wonders of medicine.
About how as surgeons, you know,
We're meant to push boundaries
And do what no one has ever done.
Sounds motivating.
It's cheesy is what it is.
And you hear it enough times at
your grandparents' dinner table,
You can't help but want to be
a surgeon when you grow up.
You had a dinner table?
I didn't know world-class
surgeons had dinner tables.
I feel gyped.
Well, that's 'cause you
haven't heard the speech yet.
...to be awake for my own surgery,
But an opportunity like this,
to be a student again,
Get a new perspective--
It's what we got into
this business for
In the first place--
Those moments that challenge
and terrify and dare us
To reach the potential that
we were meant to reach.
No, let's stop the talk
And get into that o.R.
And teach those kids,
Teach ourselves...
What it means to be great.
I'm sorry. I can't authorize
an awake surgery, no matter--
We can do it.
Derek, we can do this.
That's what I like to hear.
That's the way a chief does things.
Shepherd, take note.
Dr. Webber. Derek,
I know what you're gonna say--
No. As the sole person
in this hospital
Assigned to look out
for your welfare,
I don't support this decision.
I apologize...
Chief shepherd.
You really want to
do this thing? I do.
It's on you, then.
Thank you for your help
on that project. Uh-huh.
Same time tomorrow? Yeah.
Oh, let me guess.
Still no call from little sloan.
Nothing. But it's okay.
I've moved on.
Okay. Yeah, getting out of bed
And not wearing sweats
around the apartment all day
Is a sign of progress.
Sleeping with the nurses?
Not so much.
Well, I wouldn't have to sleep
with nurses If you'd put out.
I'm in a committed,
loving adult relationship.
Tried that. Didn't work.
Okay, whatever.
Just come take a look at this face c.
T. On my patient.
Come on.
Get the hell outta here, karev.
What?
Get the hell out. Now!
What was that?
I don't like that guy.
Oh, he slept with lexie once, mark.
You two were broken up.
Actually, he's, uh... never mind.
You don't sleep with
another man's girl.
I learned that the hard way.
Oh, well played.
Oh, don't buy that.
He's acting out because
He can't deal with the real
human emotions he's having.
Ask him how many nurses
he's slept with today.
You're sleeping with nurses now?
You said no drug reps.
And I'm a grown man.
I can screw whoever I want.
Not in my hospital.
What are you gonna do,
fire me? Maybe I will.
All right. All right.
Enough with the testosterone.
Mrs. Nelson's scans are up.
No bleed. No fracture.
She's good. She's deaf.
Yeah. How'd you know that?
She's got otosclerosis--
Abnormal bone growth
in the middle ear.
If I just remove the bones,
she'll be able to hear again.
Wait. You can restore
her hearing? Yeah.
But she's been deaf for years.
Yeah. She doesn't have to be.
Just because you removed the bone?
What'd I just say?
She doesn't have
to be deaf anymore.
I can fix it. I'm that good.
You still want to fire me?
Not a bad looking bowel,
is it, webber?
No, sir. If I had to guess,
I would say it was the
bowel of a 50 year old.
Suction, dr. Grey.
Dr. Grey, I've got
a question for you.
It's of a personal nature.
Yes, sir?
If your mother was
still working here,
Would you have chosen to, uh,
Study at a-a different,
lesser quality hospital
In order to avoid the
advantages of her legacy?
I'm waiting here, dr. Grey.
Um... dr. Webber,
What do you think about
intraoperational dye
To help determine
intestinal viability?
Uh, well, they say that it
enhances clinical judgment.
I'm not real sure. I don't get it.
Why does he get to scrub in
On his own grandfather's
awake surgery?
The same reason why harper
avery personally requested
Meredith grey to be his resident.
Nepotism sucks.
Hey, you, uh,
want to go grab a bite?
No.
Actually, I am... full.
Really? 'cause you didn't
seem full last night.
I said no.
Okay, I-I-I am not hungry at all.
So just go eat alone.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Hey, down in front, bigfoot.
Oh, it's bigfoot now.
Well, you know what they say
about guys with big feet.
Shouldn't you be off
learning how to be a surgeon
After you let my daredevil die?
My daredevil? He didn't die.
After you left,
I personally helped
preserve his heart function.
Now he's an organ donor.
B.P.'s DROPPING.
I think I've got a bleeder.
Suction.
Did you check the s.M.A.
? Yes, it's okay. Dr. Avery, stay calm.
I'll be calm when you
find the damn thing.
What's going on, kathy?
You're serious?
All this time, I just needed
to make her go to the doctor?
Well, that doesn't matter now.
What matters is that dr.
Sloan can do the surgery
Right after I operate on the knee.
That accident might
have been the best thing
That ever happened to you.
What's going on?
Who are you?
You're like some miracle
worker or something.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
What the hell is going on?
Mom...
Dr. Sloan can give you
your hearing back!
Don't you dare sleep
with that woman. No?
What?! No.
Dr. Sloan, come and
tell her yourself.
Mrs. Nelson!
I'm dr. Sloan! I have some
very good news for you!
Okay, shouldn't we put him out?
No, don't put me out.
Hang another unit of f.F.P.
80 over 50. There it is.
There it is. I've got it.
I've got it.
Okay.
How are you feeling, dr. Avery?
Okay. Heart rate's stabilizing.
Hang in there just a
few more minutes, okay?
3-0 silk, boki. Silk?
No, use chromic.
Don't get lazy on me.
Yep, he's fine.
Right.
Chromic instead, boki.
You paged?
Oh, my god. Are you doing
an ex vivo lung repair?
My daredevil turned out to be a match.
You stole his lungs?
No, I did not steal them.
The transplant team rejected them
And were gonna send
them to medical waste,
So I just redirected
them to medical research.
Now does lexopedia
want to be badass
And help me on this thing or not?
Oh, my god. Yeah.
Okay, so I ventilated the lungs
With, uh, c-o-2 and
nitrogen from the pump.
Hey. Hey.
Um, you hear about harper-
I heard about your motorcycle--oh.
You go. No. Sorry. You go.
Uh, I was just gonna say,
it's kinda cool,
Uh, harper avery being here.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it is.
And, uh, uh,
your-- your motorcycle guy?
Oh, we lost him, but he's a donor.
Well, that's good.
You know, you should come
over sometime for dinner.
Uh, cristina--she-- well,
she doesn't cook,
But if you remember,
I do a mean lasagna.
Sure. Really?
Yeah, yeah. Sounds fun.
Okay.
Uh, I gotta go. All right, yeah.
Uh, talk to you later. Mm-hmm.
Okay, I know you love yang.
She gives you the warm and fuzzies
With her magical,
special heart skills.
But those lungs
you're transplanting
Belonged to a patient of mine.
And it would mean a
lot to turn his death
Into something meaningful-
I'm sorry. What lungs?
You went behind my back.
You used my name.
Yes, yes, but we
followed the protocol.
We didn't tell the patient.
You stole lungs, cristina!
Which they were about to throw out.
She was being green.
Oh, well, great.
Then I don't have to worry
About the thousands of
dollars that you spent
And the fact that no
one in this hospital
Has ever tried this before.
Oh, my god. This is about
harper avery, isn't it?
That's why you did this?
Why is that such a bad thing?
Okay, the point is,
is that we could--
You can pull this surgery off.
Oh, wow, thank you.
I mean, who needs a harper
avery when they've got
The cristina yang seal of approval?
That's not what I was saying.
All of this ambition of yours,
This desperate need to win prizes,
It means your
priorities are off. Hey.
It doesn't. Prizes
push us to be better.
They push us to be monsters.
Hey. Oh, so the status quo-
not trying then--that's worse.
Hey! The lungs--look.
They're--they're viable.
A transplant th repaired lungs
Has never been done
in the united states.
The risks are tremendous,
And with the amount of
radiation that you sustained,
There's no way of knowing
how friable your tissue is
Or if you can even
sustain a transplant.
Wait. I'm sorry.
Are you saying you recommend it,
though? No, they're saying
They want to give us a pair
of hand-me-down lungs--
The ones no one else wants.
These are good lungs.
This procedure has
allowed us to repair them
So they're virtually the same as-
no! We'll wait.
We'll wait until you get
the lungs that you deserve.
You're so used to fighting,
you don't even realize...
This is it.
I am sick and I'm tired
And I am ready.
No matter what happens,
my affairs are in order.
Your affairs are not in order.
Don't you dare say that.
Dr. Robbins, please.
Is this my best shot?
I'm not your surgeon here, elliot.
I have to defer to dr. Altman.
It's your only shot.
Then, yes. Do it.
Give me the hand-me-downs.
Dr. Sloan, good timing.
Dr. Karev and I are
pretty much done.
What the hell you looking at?
Nothing, I was just--
Get out of my o.R., karev.
Mark, you're way out of line here.
It's fine. I'll go.
He's got serial killer eyes.
I'm almost done here anyway.
You sure?
Yeah.
That is enough.
Hey, it's funny.
Did you see the guy's face?
No, it is sad and pathetic.
Okay? And you have a choice here.
Sloan and her baby leaving
you can either be the worst
Or the best thing
that happened to you.
You can grown up, find a woman
to love and have a baby.
Or you can be the ass attending
who abuses the residents
And screws whatever walks
into this hospital.
So just pick one.
Would you drape the ear, please?
Look, it's not gonna happen,
all right?
Come on, man. Five minutes
with your grandpappy.
That's all I ask. Right,
'cause the two of us
are such good friends.
Well, this would go a
long way to help that.
Back off, karev,
if anybody's a friend here,
It's me. You're not
meeting him either.
Dude, what happened
to mercy west forever?
That was never a thing. Now leave.
I hate it.
I hate it when they know
I'm related to him--
The way they treat me,
The way they watch me as
soon as they find out.
And I know the name has... helped,
But he is not easy.
Brilliant, but really not
easy to be related to.
It's him. 9-1-1.
What is it? You paged?
Are you okay?
We never got a chance to finish
our talk from this morning.
Our talk?
What, are you kidding me?
And you brought dr.Grey.
That's good, actually.
Answer me this time, dr. Grey.
If a spot was being
held for you to study
At the greatest hospital
in this country,
Would you turn it down?
A spot? Well--
Yeah, he saved a spot
for me at mass gen,
Ever since I graduated,
Which is the only reason
he came to visit--
To try to convince
me to take it again.
It's an incredible opportunity.
An opportunity I don't want.
I don't want to work for you.
I don't want your help.
I don't--look,
it's enough-- no!
I decide when I've said enough.
I--you--you think I am
arrogant and overbearing,
And you've made that very clear,
and maybe I am.
But I am also your only
living grandfather.
And it has become
very clear to me today
That my time is coming.
I don't--I can't l-leave-- leave--
Grandpa? Grandpa?
V-tach. No pulse. No pulse here.
We need a crash cart in here. Now!
Your c.T. Shows that the's
been a c complication.
Dr. Webber will take
you back into the o.R.
And fix it right away.
Fine, but you're
not putting me out.
Clearly a mistake was made.
I'm not letting that happen again.
That's not gonna happen this time.
You're in my hospital today.
You will abide by my rules.
That means you go under general.
Your grandson will be sitting
in the waiting room as family.
You refuse, and I will
personally declare you unfit
To make decisions
regarding your own care.
That is how a chief does things.
Take note.
Have bailey do the surgery.
Richard--
Look, it could've been my
mistake in there, derek.
Do you understand
what this would mean,
Making an error on this man?
I wanna drink,
Not operate, not hold another
man's life in my hands.
So please... let bailey do it.
Bailey will assist.
Two months ago,
You never would've told
me you wanted a drink.
You woulda had one.
You can do this, richard.
I get it.
You got used to being the one
person she could count on.
And suddenly, you're
supposed to just move on,
Get a life that doesn't involve
Taking care of the one person
you thought needed you.
It's hard.
Okay.
Yeah.
Except, no, I am not gonna
miss taking care of her.
I wasted years of my
life and I was miserable.
But now...
I can do anything.
Right?I mean,
I could... I could move out...
Get my own place...
Have men over...
Men that look like you.
I was taking care of you,
you little tramp.
Mom?
No one asked you to move in.
You were getting a divorce.
You had no place to go.
So you came home.
I didn't need you
to take care of me.
I was fine, happy.
But I let you, because I
was taking care of you.
You heard all that?
Mom, you can hear.
I can? Yeah.
Oh, my god. I can. I can!
Say something. Say something else.
Okay, uh...
I'm moving out, mom.
I heard that.
Oh, sorry.
Damn it.
What is it?
The tissue is falling apart.
The clamp's not holding.
Get me some umbilical tape.
This is why I hate awards.
They don't make us better,
Just more competitive and stupid.
And for what?
To put on a dress and
eat a bad piece of fish
And take home an ugly paperweight
That's gonna sit on your mantel
For the rest of your sad,
empty, misguided life.
You could do an interposition
vein graft. What?
You have something to add,
dr. Yang?
No, just...
You've already gotten this far.
You could repair the p.
A. With a graft.
Maybe.
No.
I could do a pericardial patch.
I could use his pericardium
to do the repair.
We could start cooling him.
And arrest the heart.
How are we doing on time, grey?
Cold ischemic time-
three hours so far.
Which means that we
still have enough time
To save the lungs if we hurry.
All right, yang,
get in there and help me.
Clamp.
Good. Here we go.
His bowels are all
swollen and hardened.
The anastomosis is leaking.
Which explains why
he went into shock.
All in all, I'd say this
is about the best news
We could've asked for, dr.
Webber. I don't understand.
His bowels are perforated.
He's leaking intestinal contents.
Because dr. Avery was allergic
to the chromic suture.
He didn't know because he
was always wearing gloves
In his own surgeries.
And you couldn't
have known either--
Which is why I am smiling
behind this mask.
Get the 3-0 silk ready, boki.
Okay. This is it.
Let's take him off bypass
And see if these lungs
can work on their own.
Clamping.
There.
Come on. Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe, damn it.
I just spent the past five hours
Trying to be okay with the fact
That my only brother was dead.
And... Now you're saying it worked?
He's gonna be okay?
Barring any complications.
He's gonna be okay, yes.
Would you like to see him?
Yeah.
Okay, come on.
Hey. So he's fine.
It was an allergy
caused by the suture.
It was his fault, then?
Wow.
That's awesome.
Why don't they publish that story?
Yeah, I know. I get it.
The famous grandfather,
The legacy he's trying
to force on you,
And you didn't ask for any of it-
-trust me, I get it.
You're putting up walls
and you're avoiding him
And you don't want to
introduce him to your friends.
It was the same with my mother.
But if she were here right
now in a room upstairs,
I would want to go see her and
make things right with her.
And I definitely would
want to go learn from her.
And you still can.
Guess who just helped
save a guy's life
By suggesting a
highly experimental,
Awesome procedure--
did you tell sloan we were together?
What?
Look, I like you,
and you're a great time in bed,
But don't go telling
your ex we're together
So you can make him jealous.
I did not tell mark
that we were together.
And I am not trying to make
him jealous. Yeah, right.
I'M GETTING KICKED OUT OF O.
R.S FOR A REASON.
For once in my life-- for once--
I am doing something
that is only for me.
And it has nothing to do with
me having feelings for you
Or for mark or anyone, really.
This is about not feeling.
You make me not feel.
A-and if you can't handle that,
If you can't handle
being used for sex,
Then please just tell me so
that I can find a guy who can.
I'm all about not feeling.
You've been through a lot. I-I--
Look, don't get all mushy on me.
I'm just saying,
we're on the same page.
And I got a free 20 minutes.
You want to go not have
feelings somewhere?
It's really bad form to
cancel plans with new friends.
You know that, right?
I'll meet you in 15.
So, uh, I heard about
the lung transplant.
Cristina said that
you were amazing.
No, cristina was amazing.
aaaaaaaaa
Want to grab a beer, celebrate?
I was gonna head to joe's.
I've got plans, actually.
Ladies' night.
I'm--I'm a little scared.
I'll see you tomorrow, hunt.
No matter how many plans we
make or steps we follow...
See you tomorrow.
We never know how our
day is going to end up.
We'd prefer to know, of course,
What curve balls will
be thrown our way.
Karev!
Look, dude,
she's not my girlfriend.
So whatever business you two
have to work out-- I'll stop.
THE YELLING, THE THROWING
YOU OUT OF O.R.S, IT'S OVER.
It's the accidents that
always turn out to be
The most interesting
parts of our day,
Of life...
How's your regenerative
medicine research going?
Oh, I put it on the
shelf a few years back.
I got preoccupied.
That research put you
on the short list
For my award several times, webber.
Maybe it's time to dust it off.
Maybe it is.
The people we never
expected to show up...
Grandpa.
I, um, wanted to introduce
you to some friends
If you feel up for it.
Bring 'em in.
All right. Hurry up. Come on.
We met, um, uh... oh, yeah.
Already this morning,
and I, um, you were--
I was... spit it out, yang.
There was, uh, so much going on.
Start with your name,
and we'll go from there.
Cristina yang.
It's, uh, it's an honor,
sir. It's, um-- it's nice to...
Thank you so much.
Officially meet you, dr. Yang.
And the rest of you? Uh,
lexie grey.
The turn of events we never
would've chosen for ourselves.
You won't make that. I'll make it.
I told off one of my heroes today.
I can do anything.
You know, teddy did an ex
vivo lung repair today.
That's pretty incredible.
I slept with my patient's
daughter just now,
After restoring her
mother's hearing.
Don't worry, derek.
I promise never to do it again.
Wow. We suck.
They were just leaving.
We were? Yeah.
Right. We were.
Night, webber.
Uh... good night.
I had to pee in a cup today, derek.
I had to pee in a cup,
and... it was humiliating.
And what I did today--
Agreeing to the awake surgery--
I know I overstepped, but...
I needed to feel something
other than humiliated.
I understand.
Tomorrow's another day.
Thanks.
All of a sudden,
You find yourself somewhere
you never expected to be,
And it's nice...
Or it takes some getting used to.
Why couldn't we have gone
dancing for girls' night...
Or bowling?
We took a vote. You lost.
Besides, it's fun.
Mm. Says who?
Bailey's face. Look at it.
Go, go, go.
Come on, come on, come on.
Aah! That's all right.
That's all right.
Still, you know you'll find
yourself appreciating it
Somewhere down the line.
You know, I'm in love with teddy.
I love her. You're like lexie
With the inappropriate feelings
for inappropriate people.
What can I say?
My heart lives in my scalpel.
Those were trick balls.
Bailey, you just gotta be taller.
I gotta... girl, you know what?
So you go to sleep each night
thinking about tomorrow...
That's what I'm talking
about! Oh, yes!
Beat that, yang! Oh, no.
It's teddy's turn.
Going over your plans... it's
gonna feel great when you connect.
Preparing the lists...
it's like making your
first incision. Take it.
It's just you,
the bat and the ball.
Yeah, I'm a badass chick, cristina.
I've swung a bat before.
Okay, let's see it. Let's see it.
And hoping that whatever accidents
come your way... you ready?
Will be happy ones.
Sync
---
Surgeons are detail-oriented.
We like statistics and checklists
And operating procedures.
Our patients live because we
enjoy following the steps.
But as we much as we'd love to
always rely on the numbers...
The plan...
We also know that some of the
greatest medical discoveries
Have happened by accident.
Karev, you still need a lift to--oh,
my-- oh, my god!
What are you doing?! Get out! Uh...
Wh-why are you naked? Oh.
I should go. God.
No, please don't be mad.
Derek was supposed to be alex.
Okay. Well,
alex left ten minutes ago.
And since when are you two still--
Since you caught us the first time.
Mm-hmm. Lexie, this is
alex we're talking about.
Emotionally, he's like
me three years ago.
You can't be having feelings for him.
You realize that.
Yeah, of course not. No.
It's--it's just sex.
Okay? There's no feelings involved.
Right.
Because you are a
no-feelings type of girl.
Your heart lives in your vagina.
It... does not.
Okay? I swear.
It's... not this time.
Okay. Sure.
My heart does not
live in my... vagina.
Mold--penicillin.
Poisonous tree bark--
A cure for malaria. Morning.
Morning. A little blue pill
for high blood pressure...
Impotence be damned.
What's going on? Huh?
Gotta go.
Oh, my god! Dude!
Why is this my morning?
So I flip the patient
into trendelenburg.
Teddy yanks out the
arterial cannula...
And connects the arterial
line to a venous line,
And then sets up retrograde
cerebral perfusion.
I mean, like, she was on fire.
I was on fire.
The whole o.R. Was on fire.
What?
Nothing. Nothing.
Just... you two are...
You two are friends now.
Yeah.
And hey, you know...
yocan be her friend, too.
I never asked you not to be.
You decided that all on your own.
So... be her friend.
It's hard for us to accept
That it's not always the
hard work... thank you.
Or attention to detail
That'll give us the
answers we're looking for.
Dr. Hunti-- I just paged you.
Uh, there's a trauma
on the way. Here it is.
We've got a 41-year-old
motorcycle daredevil
With a closed head wound,
penetrating neck wound
And multiple blunt traumas.
What was the dare?
Riding without a helmet apparently.
He's still got some brain waves left,
but barely. Oh!
But sometimes we just
have to sit back,
Relax and wait for
the happy accident.
Oh! Oh, my god! Oh,
my god! That isn't gonna help.
Mnh-mnh. I'm on trauma today,yang.
This one's mine.
I touched him first.
Gary from legal.
I need a statement from one
of you about that fall.
You two decide.
You're not even wearing scrubs.
Damn it. This is not over.
Have fun with gary from legal.
Okay. One... Two, three.
Teddy, hey. I have an old
patient up in oncology.
And I know that you're
really busy with surgeries
And st-staring at owen hunt...
What?
I've tried to ignore it,
the staring.
But ever since christmas,
with the guitar and the singing
And the stolen looks--well,
I noticed it,
and I can't...Unnotice it.
It's just, I kinof...
I like to fix things--people.
I like to fix people.
Oh, no, no. Dr.
Hunt and I-- ooh, don't,
'cause then you're just lying,
and that's no good
My point is, you're
staring and you're sad.
And I think that you need
friends that aren't owen.
And that's where I come in,
with the fixing.
You're going to be
friends with me. I am?
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
I'm an awesome friend.
So tonight you'll come out with
callie and me--girls' night.
Maybe bailey will come, too.
Say yes to girls' night.
Yes to girls' night.
Yay! Oh, yay.
Problem solved. Now for my patient.
Elliot meyer.
He needs a lung transplant.
Oh, hey. Uh, I'm down
with a l-lung transplant.
Oh, no... because you
slept with my girlfriend,
And I find at when I look at you,
I want to hit you with a brick.
Dude, that was, like, years ago.
Maybe, but jealousy's
a green-eyed monster,
And if you ask any one of my kids,
they'll tell you,
There's no reasoning
with a monster.
Dude, run away before
I find a brick.
As my new friend,
don't judge me for that.
So... my patient, been treated...
I get it. You're upset
little sloan is gone.
But screwing drug reps is not
gonna make you feel better.
Yeah, it is.
No screwing drug reps in
my hospital. Are we clear?
You were much more fun
when you weren't chief.
You know that? Get outta here.
Ah.
Dr. Webber.
Welcome back. Oh.
Thank you, dr. Sloan.
Richard, how's your first day back?
Uh, well, so far, so good.
I had to drop this off.
I'm sorry you have to do this.
Well, this drug testing,
it's part of the rehab program.
Just run it under a john doe,
would you? Of course.
Whatever you need today,
richard, and I mean that.
A low-stress day,
let's start there--
Routine surgeries,
a light schedule, home by 5:00.
Done.
Yeah, I said that. She slipped.
The only person liable here is you
For keeping me from my surgery.
Call my driver and tell
him there's still time
Toake my flight if he
comes straight here.
You passed out in a restaurant
and you have abdominal pain.
You're not getting on a plane.
The pain's gone,
and whatever caused it
Can wait till I get home.
Now let me off of this damn thing.
We're done here, right?
Sir, I need you to move to this gurney.
I got this, yang.
All right? You're not
even in scrubs. Sir,
I need you to stay calm so I
can do a proper examination.
Tell this lady to back off,
jackie. Jackie?
Whatever. It's not--
Look, I've already paged bailey,
and he's not cardio.
So you can lose interest, yang.
Yeah, we'll see about that.
Sir, I'm a surgeon, a very good one.
So is my grandson.
So why don't you take
your hands off me?
Wait, he's your grandfather?
I'm serious, okay? I can handle
this till bailey gets here.
No, because you're not allowed
to treat family members,
And he has midepigastric
tenderness and guarding.
It could be ascending cholangitis.
Ascending cholgitis? Really?
With only one of the
symptoms of charcot's triad?
You're a doctor?
Apparently a much
better one than you are.
Dr. Harper avery.
And your name, doctor?
Harper avery.
Uh, no. That's my name.
As in the harper avery award?
Bingo. Get a new surgeon, jackie,
One with a pulse this time.
You're harper avery's grandson?
I misdiagnosed harper avery
in front of harper avery.
Do you know what that
does to my chances
Of one day winning a harper avery? Well,
could die before then.
I mean, he could die today even.
I just need to operate on
my motorcycle daredevil guy,
And I'll be fine.
Is it true harper avery is here?
So derek walked in on
her naked this morning
In alex's bed. Meredith!
What?
Oh, I'm just cheering her up.
She's having a bad day.
Be generous. You know what?
You can't be having
feelings for karev.
He's like meredith three
years ago. I said that.
I don't have feelings for alex.
Yes, you do. Your heart's,
like, in your vagina.
I said that. Oh, my god.
You are both monsters.
We're like...
Yang, I heard you met harper avery.
Did you know that pretty
boy's grandfather was god?
I didn't know.
That is kinda cool, though.
No, it's not cool.
Okay, he's an entitled
brat with no skills
Except a really good bloodlin
It is not jackson's fault that
he's related to harper avery.
Oh, whatever,
ellis grey's daughter.
Huh? How do I look?
Chiefly? What, are you nervous?
He's one of the most powerful
surgeons in the country.
He's just a guy Who happens to
have an award named aft him.
Whatever,Ellis grey's
daughter. Admit it.
You want to meet him, too.
Ll, yeah.
Thank you.
Hey,here are we on him?
He was on his way up to the o.R.
When he started bleeding out.
Want to give us a hand here, yang?
Oh. Big boy needs a little help.
No problem. Watch and learn.
Clamp.
See? This is why I don't
want you to drive!
I had to get my medication!
The store was gonna close! I'm so-
-can we not yell?
Please. Maybe. No, actually.
My mother's almost completely deaf,
A fact she refuses to accept,
which is why She won't learn sign
language or get a hearing aid.
So we yell. Don't talk to her.
Talk to me.
I'm just telling
them what happened!
She stole my car... again.
There's a tenderness over
the zygomatic process
And a hematoma to the
left temporal area.
Okay. Run a head and face c.T.
I'll get sloan and shepherd.
She's got a ruptured tendon in
her knee that will need surgery.
So she'll be off her
feet for a few weeks.
So more waiting on her
hand and foot? Brilliant.
I saw that, kathy!
They're taking you for scans!
That's all we said!
Just quiet down.
Let the nice doctor do her work.
Why is this taking so long?!
Is it me or are those two
women terribly annoying?
My apologies, dr. Avery.
We're working on getting
you up to your own room
As soon as poss-
you said that before.
Are you the same shepherd Who did
the clinical trial on the gliomas?
Yes, sir.
You brought me a neurosurgeon
for some abdominal cramps?
No, I-I--dr. Shepherd is
our chief of surgery, sir.
I don't need a cruise director.
I need an experienced surgeon.
Page dr. Grey.
I'm dr. Grey.
Either the world's most talented
plastic surgeon works here
Or you're not ellis grey.
She was my mother. She passed away.
I-I didn't know.
Uh, my condolences.
Who else then?
Does, uh, richard
webber still work here?
Yes.
unfortunately, he is, uh,
he is not available today.
Push 2 of ativan.
Percy, let's get him on his side.
Cristina, watch that neck.
Oh,my god! What are
they doing to that man?!
Oh! Okay. Applying pressure.
Get him back into the room.
I'll page dr. Webber.
As you can see, you've got
dilated bowel here and here,
Indicating an obstruction.
It's a good thing that
our young dr. Avery
Brought you straight in.
Dr. Bailey can do the
surgery right away.
Was it a student,
webber? A board member's wife?
What?
No one gives up a
chief of surgery gig,
And, uh, they don't ask you
unless it's for something juicy.
So who were you
slipping it to? Grandpa!
I'm sorry, dr. Webber.
It was a joke. He doesn't get me.
So, webber?
Uh, dr. Webber decided
to focus on his research.
Oh, the research line.
Well, either way,
At least you'll be
free to do my surgery.
Dr. Bailey is more than capable
of performing the surgery--
I want webber. No offense.
None taken.
And I want to watch.
What?
I'm going to be awake
for my surgery, watch.
So much for the low-stress day. Mm.
A year after mr. Meyer's
lymphoma went into remission,
He was diagnosed with
pulmonary fibrosis,
A condition that he
developed as a side effect
To the radiation he received
during his cancer treatments.
This isn't new information.
I thought you said you could help.
Yeah, but they're new to the case,
And it's important to
review the entire history.
Great. Uh, can't you do that
on your own time? Jill. Sorry.
My sister usually waits
a few more minutes
Before going full
bitch on new guys.
All right. Let me
tell you what I know.
It is gonna be very difficult
to find you a new set of lungs.
Donor lungs are scarce.
85% get thrown out
Because they get too inflamed
while the donor is brain dead.
And because your
cancer could come back
With the immunosuppressants
you'd be on,
You are considered a
very high-risk candidate.
There are just too many
other patients on the list
That are lower risk.
Elliot survived
leukemia and lymphoma.
Nobody does that, but he did.
He deserves lungs.
Unfortunately, these are the rules
The transplant board sets out.
I...
I'm sorry.
Dr. Altman, have you looked
into the research they're doing
With ex vivo transplants? Ex vivo?
Well, it's a procedure where
they take damaged donor lungs--
The ones we would
normally throw away--
And repair them on bypass.
Are we doing one?
Let me guess.
You want on my service
to make up for the fact
That you humiliated yourself
in front of harper avery.
How'd you hear about that?
You made fun of me.
Okay. Fine.
Yes, I-I humiliated myself
in front of harper avery.
And my daredevil gorked before
we could operate on him.
So I am available for
your ex vivo lung case.
I don't have an ex vivo lung case
Because it's only been done
in switzerland and in canada
On patients in much better
shape than our patient.
Yes, but...
Okay, performing a procedure
as hard-core as this
While harper avery
is in the hospital?
Well, I mean, he could
hear about it and like it
And--and he's a god
who hands out awards.
Yeah, I don't care about awards.
Oh, come on. Only people who
never win awards ever say that.
So you think this could
be an ex vivo lung case?
I do not have feelings for alex.
I do not care.
Ah, here we go.
He's giving them the speech.
What speech?
About the wonders of medicine.
About how as surgeons, you know,
We're meant to push boundaries
And do what no one has ever done.
Sounds motivating.
It's cheesy is what it is.
And you hear it enough times at
your grandparents' dinner table,
You can't help but want to be
a surgeon when you grow up.
You had a dinner table?
I didn't know world-class
surgeons had dinner tables.
I feel gyped.
Well, that's 'cause you
haven't heard the speech yet.
...to be awake for my own surgery,
But an opportunity like this,
to be a student again,
Get a new perspective--
It's what we got into
this business for
In the first place--
Those moments that challenge
and terrify and dare us
To reach the potential that
we were meant to reach.
No, let's stop the talk
And get into that o.R.
And teach those kids,
Teach ourselves...
What it means to be great.
I'm sorry. I can't authorize
an awake surgery, no matter--
We can do it.
Derek, we can do this.
That's what I like to hear.
That's the way a chief does things.
Shepherd, take note.
Dr. Webber. Derek,
I know what you're gonna say--
No. As the sole person
in this hospital
Assigned to look out
for your welfare,
I don't support this decision.
I apologize...
Chief shepherd.
You really want to
do this thing? I do.
It's on you, then.
Thank you for your help
on that project. Uh-huh.
Same time tomorrow? Yeah.
Oh, let me guess.
Still no call from little sloan.
Nothing. But it's okay.
I've moved on.
Okay. Yeah, getting out of bed
And not wearing sweats
around the apartment all day
Is a sign of progress.
Sleeping with the nurses?
Not so much.
Well, I wouldn't have to sleep
with nurses If you'd put out.
I'm in a committed,
loving adult relationship.
Tried that. Didn't work.
Okay, whatever.
Just come take a look at this face c.
T. On my patient.
Come on.
Get the hell outta here, karev.
What?
Get the hell out. Now!
What was that?
I don't like that guy.
Oh, he slept with lexie once, mark.
You two were broken up.
Actually, he's, uh... never mind.
You don't sleep with
another man's girl.
I learned that the hard way.
Oh, well played.
Oh, don't buy that.
He's acting out because
He can't deal with the real
human emotions he's having.
Ask him how many nurses
he's slept with today.
You're sleeping with nurses now?
You said no drug reps.
And I'm a grown man.
I can screw whoever I want.
Not in my hospital.
What are you gonna do,
fire me? Maybe I will.
All right. All right.
Enough with the testosterone.
Mrs. Nelson's scans are up.
No bleed. No fracture.
She's good. She's deaf.
Yeah. How'd you know that?
She's got otosclerosis--
Abnormal bone growth
in the middle ear.
If I just remove the bones,
she'll be able to hear again.
Wait. You can restore
her hearing? Yeah.
But she's been deaf for years.
Yeah. She doesn't have to be.
Just because you removed the bone?
What'd I just say?
She doesn't have
to be deaf anymore.
I can fix it. I'm that good.
You still want to fire me?
Not a bad looking bowel,
is it, webber?
No, sir. If I had to guess,
I would say it was the
bowel of a 50 year old.
Suction, dr. Grey.
Dr. Grey, I've got
a question for you.
It's of a personal nature.
Yes, sir?
If your mother was
still working here,
Would you have chosen to, uh,
Study at a-a different,
lesser quality hospital
In order to avoid the
advantages of her legacy?
I'm waiting here, dr. Grey.
Um... dr. Webber,
What do you think about
intraoperational dye
To help determine
intestinal viability?
Uh, well, they say that it
enhances clinical judgment.
I'm not real sure. I don't get it.
Why does he get to scrub in
On his own grandfather's
awake surgery?
The same reason why harper
avery personally requested
Meredith grey to be his resident.
Nepotism sucks.
Hey, you, uh,
want to go grab a bite?
No.
Actually, I am... full.
Really? 'cause you didn't
seem full last night.
I said no.
Okay, I-I-I am not hungry at all.
So just go eat alone.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Hey, down in front, bigfoot.
Oh, it's bigfoot now.
Well, you know what they say
about guys with big feet.
Shouldn't you be off
learning how to be a surgeon
After you let my daredevil die?
My daredevil? He didn't die.
After you left,
I personally helped
preserve his heart function.
Now he's an organ donor.
B.P.'s DROPPING.
I think I've got a bleeder.
Suction.
Did you check the s.M.A.
? Yes, it's okay. Dr. Avery, stay calm.
I'll be calm when you
find the damn thing.
What's going on, kathy?
You're serious?
All this time, I just needed
to make her go to the doctor?
Well, that doesn't matter now.
What matters is that dr.
Sloan can do the surgery
Right after I operate on the knee.
That accident might
have been the best thing
That ever happened to you.
What's going on?
Who are you?
You're like some miracle
worker or something.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
What the hell is going on?
Mom...
Dr. Sloan can give you
your hearing back!
Don't you dare sleep
with that woman. No?
What?! No.
Dr. Sloan, come and
tell her yourself.
Mrs. Nelson!
I'm dr. Sloan! I have some
very good news for you!
Okay, shouldn't we put him out?
No, don't put me out.
Hang another unit of f.F.P.
80 over 50. There it is.
There it is. I've got it.
I've got it.
Okay.
How are you feeling, dr. Avery?
Okay. Heart rate's stabilizing.
Hang in there just a
few more minutes, okay?
3-0 silk, boki. Silk?
No, use chromic.
Don't get lazy on me.
Yep, he's fine.
Right.
Chromic instead, boki.
You paged?
Oh, my god. Are you doing
an ex vivo lung repair?
My daredevil turned out to be a match.
You stole his lungs?
No, I did not steal them.
The transplant team rejected them
And were gonna send
them to medical waste,
So I just redirected
them to medical research.
Now does lexopedia
want to be badass
And help me on this thing or not?
Oh, my god. Yeah.
Okay, so I ventilated the lungs
With, uh, c-o-2 and
nitrogen from the pump.
Hey. Hey.
Um, you hear about harper-
I heard about your motorcycle--oh.
You go. No. Sorry. You go.
Uh, I was just gonna say,
it's kinda cool,
Uh, harper avery being here.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it is.
And, uh, uh,
your-- your motorcycle guy?
Oh, we lost him, but he's a donor.
Well, that's good.
You know, you should come
over sometime for dinner.
Uh, cristina--she-- well,
she doesn't cook,
But if you remember,
I do a mean lasagna.
Sure. Really?
Yeah, yeah. Sounds fun.
Okay.
Uh, I gotta go. All right, yeah.
Uh, talk to you later. Mm-hmm.
Okay, I know you love yang.
She gives you the warm and fuzzies
With her magical,
special heart skills.
But those lungs
you're transplanting
Belonged to a patient of mine.
And it would mean a
lot to turn his death
Into something meaningful-
I'm sorry. What lungs?
You went behind my back.
You used my name.
Yes, yes, but we
followed the protocol.
We didn't tell the patient.
You stole lungs, cristina!
Which they were about to throw out.
She was being green.
Oh, well, great.
Then I don't have to worry
About the thousands of
dollars that you spent
And the fact that no
one in this hospital
Has ever tried this before.
Oh, my god. This is about
harper avery, isn't it?
That's why you did this?
Why is that such a bad thing?
Okay, the point is,
is that we could--
You can pull this surgery off.
Oh, wow, thank you.
I mean, who needs a harper
avery when they've got
The cristina yang seal of approval?
That's not what I was saying.
All of this ambition of yours,
This desperate need to win prizes,
It means your
priorities are off. Hey.
It doesn't. Prizes
push us to be better.
They push us to be monsters.
Hey. Oh, so the status quo-
not trying then--that's worse.
Hey! The lungs--look.
They're--they're viable.
A transplant th repaired lungs
Has never been done
in the united states.
The risks are tremendous,
And with the amount of
radiation that you sustained,
There's no way of knowing
how friable your tissue is
Or if you can even
sustain a transplant.
Wait. I'm sorry.
Are you saying you recommend it,
though? No, they're saying
They want to give us a pair
of hand-me-down lungs--
The ones no one else wants.
These are good lungs.
This procedure has
allowed us to repair them
So they're virtually the same as-
no! We'll wait.
We'll wait until you get
the lungs that you deserve.
You're so used to fighting,
you don't even realize...
This is it.
I am sick and I'm tired
And I am ready.
No matter what happens,
my affairs are in order.
Your affairs are not in order.
Don't you dare say that.
Dr. Robbins, please.
Is this my best shot?
I'm not your surgeon here, elliot.
I have to defer to dr. Altman.
It's your only shot.
Then, yes. Do it.
Give me the hand-me-downs.
Dr. Sloan, good timing.
Dr. Karev and I are
pretty much done.
What the hell you looking at?
Nothing, I was just--
Get out of my o.R., karev.
Mark, you're way out of line here.
It's fine. I'll go.
He's got serial killer eyes.
I'm almost done here anyway.
You sure?
Yeah.
That is enough.
Hey, it's funny.
Did you see the guy's face?
No, it is sad and pathetic.
Okay? And you have a choice here.
Sloan and her baby leaving
you can either be the worst
Or the best thing
that happened to you.
You can grown up, find a woman
to love and have a baby.
Or you can be the ass attending
who abuses the residents
And screws whatever walks
into this hospital.
So just pick one.
Would you drape the ear, please?
Look, it's not gonna happen,
all right?
Come on, man. Five minutes
with your grandpappy.
That's all I ask. Right,
'cause the two of us
are such good friends.
Well, this would go a
long way to help that.
Back off, karev,
if anybody's a friend here,
It's me. You're not
meeting him either.
Dude, what happened
to mercy west forever?
That was never a thing. Now leave.
I hate it.
I hate it when they know
I'm related to him--
The way they treat me,
The way they watch me as
soon as they find out.
And I know the name has... helped,
But he is not easy.
Brilliant, but really not
easy to be related to.
It's him. 9-1-1.
What is it? You paged?
Are you okay?
We never got a chance to finish
our talk from this morning.
Our talk?
What, are you kidding me?
And you brought dr.Grey.
That's good, actually.
Answer me this time, dr. Grey.
If a spot was being
held for you to study
At the greatest hospital
in this country,
Would you turn it down?
A spot? Well--
Yeah, he saved a spot
for me at mass gen,
Ever since I graduated,
Which is the only reason
he came to visit--
To try to convince
me to take it again.
It's an incredible opportunity.
An opportunity I don't want.
I don't want to work for you.
I don't want your help.
I don't--look,
it's enough-- no!
I decide when I've said enough.
I--you--you think I am
arrogant and overbearing,
And you've made that very clear,
and maybe I am.
But I am also your only
living grandfather.
And it has become
very clear to me today
That my time is coming.
I don't--I can't l-leave-- leave--
Grandpa? Grandpa?
V-tach. No pulse. No pulse here.
We need a crash cart in here. Now!
Your c.T. Shows that the's
been a c complication.
Dr. Webber will take
you back into the o.R.
And fix it right away.
Fine, but you're
not putting me out.
Clearly a mistake was made.
I'm not letting that happen again.
That's not gonna happen this time.
You're in my hospital today.
You will abide by my rules.
That means you go under general.
Your grandson will be sitting
in the waiting room as family.
You refuse, and I will
personally declare you unfit
To make decisions
regarding your own care.
That is how a chief does things.
Take note.
Have bailey do the surgery.
Richard--
Look, it could've been my
mistake in there, derek.
Do you understand
what this would mean,
Making an error on this man?
I wanna drink,
Not operate, not hold another
man's life in my hands.
So please... let bailey do it.
Bailey will assist.
Two months ago,
You never would've told
me you wanted a drink.
You woulda had one.
You can do this, richard.
I get it.
You got used to being the one
person she could count on.
And suddenly, you're
supposed to just move on,
Get a life that doesn't involve
Taking care of the one person
you thought needed you.
It's hard.
Okay.
Yeah.
Except, no, I am not gonna
miss taking care of her.
I wasted years of my
life and I was miserable.
But now...
I can do anything.
Right?I mean,
I could... I could move out...
Get my own place...
Have men over...
Men that look like you.
I was taking care of you,
you little tramp.
Mom?
No one asked you to move in.
You were getting a divorce.
You had no place to go.
So you came home.
I didn't need you
to take care of me.
I was fine, happy.
But I let you, because I
was taking care of you.
You heard all that?
Mom, you can hear.
I can? Yeah.
Oh, my god. I can. I can!
Say something. Say something else.
Okay, uh...
I'm moving out, mom.
I heard that.
Oh, sorry.
Damn it.
What is it?
The tissue is falling apart.
The clamp's not holding.
Get me some umbilical tape.
This is why I hate awards.
They don't make us better,
Just more competitive and stupid.
And for what?
To put on a dress and
eat a bad piece of fish
And take home an ugly paperweight
That's gonna sit on your mantel
For the rest of your sad,
empty, misguided life.
You could do an interposition
vein graft. What?
You have something to add,
dr. Yang?
No, just...
You've already gotten this far.
You could repair the p.
A. With a graft.
Maybe.
No.
I could do a pericardial patch.
I could use his pericardium
to do the repair.
We could start cooling him.
And arrest the heart.
How are we doing on time, grey?
Cold ischemic time-
three hours so far.
Which means that we
still have enough time
To save the lungs if we hurry.
All right, yang,
get in there and help me.
Clamp.
Good. Here we go.
His bowels are all
swollen and hardened.
The anastomosis is leaking.
Which explains why
he went into shock.
All in all, I'd say this
is about the best news
We could've asked for, dr.
Webber. I don't understand.
His bowels are perforated.
He's leaking intestinal contents.
Because dr. Avery was allergic
to the chromic suture.
He didn't know because he
was always wearing gloves
In his own surgeries.
And you couldn't
have known either--
Which is why I am smiling
behind this mask.
Get the 3-0 silk ready, boki.
Okay. This is it.
Let's take him off bypass
And see if these lungs
can work on their own.
Clamping.
There.
Come on. Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe, damn it.
I just spent the past five hours
Trying to be okay with the fact
That my only brother was dead.
And... Now you're saying it worked?
He's gonna be okay?
Barring any complications.
He's gonna be okay, yes.
Would you like to see him?
Yeah.
Okay, come on.
Hey. So he's fine.
It was an allergy
caused by the suture.
It was his fault, then?
Wow.
That's awesome.
Why don't they publish that story?
Yeah, I know. I get it.
The famous grandfather,
The legacy he's trying
to force on you,
And you didn't ask for any of it-
-trust me, I get it.
You're putting up walls
and you're avoiding him
And you don't want to
introduce him to your friends.
It was the same with my mother.
But if she were here right
now in a room upstairs,
I would want to go see her and
make things right with her.
And I definitely would
want to go learn from her.
And you still can.
Guess who just helped
save a guy's life
By suggesting a
highly experimental,
Awesome procedure--
did you tell sloan we were together?
What?
Look, I like you,
and you're a great time in bed,
But don't go telling
your ex we're together
So you can make him jealous.
I did not tell mark
that we were together.
And I am not trying to make
him jealous. Yeah, right.
I'M GETTING KICKED OUT OF O.
R.S FOR A REASON.
For once in my life-- for once--
I am doing something
that is only for me.
And it has nothing to do with
me having feelings for you
Or for mark or anyone, really.
This is about not feeling.
You make me not feel.
A-and if you can't handle that,
If you can't handle
being used for sex,
Then please just tell me so
that I can find a guy who can.
I'm all about not feeling.
You've been through a lot. I-I--
Look, don't get all mushy on me.
I'm just saying,
we're on the same page.
And I got a free 20 minutes.
You want to go not have
feelings somewhere?
It's really bad form to
cancel plans with new friends.
You know that, right?
I'll meet you in 15.
So, uh, I heard about
the lung transplant.
Cristina said that
you were amazing.
No, cristina was amazing.
aaaaaaaaa
Want to grab a beer, celebrate?
I was gonna head to joe's.
I've got plans, actually.
Ladies' night.
I'm--I'm a little scared.
I'll see you tomorrow, hunt.
No matter how many plans we
make or steps we follow...
See you tomorrow.
We never know how our
day is going to end up.
We'd prefer to know, of course,
What curve balls will
be thrown our way.
Karev!
Look, dude,
she's not my girlfriend.
So whatever business you two
have to work out-- I'll stop.
THE YELLING, THE THROWING
YOU OUT OF O.R.S, IT'S OVER.
It's the accidents that
always turn out to be
The most interesting
parts of our day,
Of life...
How's your regenerative
medicine research going?
Oh, I put it on the
shelf a few years back.
I got preoccupied.
That research put you
on the short list
For my award several times, webber.
Maybe it's time to dust it off.
Maybe it is.
The people we never
expected to show up...
Grandpa.
I, um, wanted to introduce
you to some friends
If you feel up for it.
Bring 'em in.
All right. Hurry up. Come on.
We met, um, uh... oh, yeah.
Already this morning,
and I, um, you were--
I was... spit it out, yang.
There was, uh, so much going on.
Start with your name,
and we'll go from there.
Cristina yang.
It's, uh, it's an honor,
sir. It's, um-- it's nice to...
Thank you so much.
Officially meet you, dr. Yang.
And the rest of you? Uh,
lexie grey.
The turn of events we never
would've chosen for ourselves.
You won't make that. I'll make it.
I told off one of my heroes today.
I can do anything.
You know, teddy did an ex
vivo lung repair today.
That's pretty incredible.
I slept with my patient's
daughter just now,
After restoring her
mother's hearing.
Don't worry, derek.
I promise never to do it again.
Wow. We suck.
They were just leaving.
We were? Yeah.
Right. We were.
Night, webber.
Uh... good night.
I had to pee in a cup today, derek.
I had to pee in a cup,
and... it was humiliating.
And what I did today--
Agreeing to the awake surgery--
I know I overstepped, but...
I needed to feel something
other than humiliated.
I understand.
Tomorrow's another day.
Thanks.
All of a sudden,
You find yourself somewhere
you never expected to be,
And it's nice...
Or it takes some getting used to.
Why couldn't we have gone
dancing for girls' night...
Or bowling?
We took a vote. You lost.
Besides, it's fun.
Mm. Says who?
Bailey's face. Look at it.
Go, go, go.
Come on, come on, come on.
Aah! That's all right.
That's all right.
Still, you know you'll find
yourself appreciating it
Somewhere down the line.
You know, I'm in love with teddy.
I love her. You're like lexie
With the inappropriate feelings
for inappropriate people.
What can I say?
My heart lives in my scalpel.
Those were trick balls.
Bailey, you just gotta be taller.
I gotta... girl, you know what?
So you go to sleep each night
thinking about tomorrow...
That's what I'm talking
about! Oh, yes!
Beat that, yang! Oh, no.
It's teddy's turn.
Going over your plans... it's
gonna feel great when you connect.
Preparing the lists...
it's like making your
first incision. Take it.
It's just you,
the bat and the ball.
Yeah, I'm a badass chick, cristina.
I've swung a bat before.
Okay, let's see it. Let's see it.
And hoping that whatever accidents
come your way... you ready?
Will be happy ones.
